Simulation monitoring using intelligent mobile agent technology

ABSTRACT

A next generation intelligent, mobile agent platform offers a solution to the current problems faced in simulation environments, one of which is processing large amounts of data across less-than-reliable mobile networks over an increasing number of nodes ranging from enterprise server to handheld and embedded devices. An agent-based approach reduces bandwidth usage, filters and analyzes data at its source, as well as monitors and manages the simulation system. Voyager Edge, used in the Department of Defense's Joint After Action Review project, demonstrates the approach discussed in the paper.
